This press message was released by the Government of the Cildanian Republic.
To the Cildanian People and friends throughout the world,
The preceding statements of the Action party are not representative of this government. The former cabinet has been disbanded and Cildanian parties of liberty and justice are once again in control.
The terrorist attacks on Cildanian soil in August of 2462 were a tragedy and must be met with decisive justice under the law. However, no group has yet come forward to claim responsibility. Tombs and her Action Party blame anarchist factions, but to assault the Cildanian capital building in retaliation is a negligent and morally vile act.
The Cildanian Government deeply wishes for a peaceful resolution to the armed standoff in the Senate, but Cildania will NEVER negotiate with terrorists. As this press statement is released a provisional government formed by party substitutes is organizing Cildanian domestic forces and drafting a declaration of war against the Action combatants.
The Action terrorists may choose now to surrender unconditionally and peacefully. Additionally, the Action paramilitary forces will be disbanded, and all terrorists involved in the putsch will be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The alternative is eradication by lethal force. If the Action party does not release the hostages in a safe and timely manner, the full might of the Cildanian Government will be forced to act.
We ask for the support of our friends and allies in peace, both in Cildania and internationally. May this crisis be resolved peacefully, and may Action understand that no ideals can ever be achieved with violent means.
Chairwoman Diana Prince,
Cildanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs
